Man you are lucky! No kids! It has been almost a year since I have been in the forum. My situation is very similar to yours. My wife has slipped so far into alcoholism its totally taken over our marriage. We have become more distant from one another than ever. I continue to tell myself I am here for my children. They really need me right now and if I just got up and left I would be abandoning them. I am a big dude and I am reserved to say there are moments when I just want to cry.
